Extension for a turbine ventilator

Abstract

A turbine ventilator extension to increase the distance of a turbine ventilator from a roof line. By doing so the ventilator is not plugged by snow in winter climates and provides increased speed being higher above the roof line.

1 . An extension for a turbine ventilator said turbine ventilator having a turbine head and a turbine base, said extension in use being mated to each of said turbine head and said turbine base.  
   
   
       2 . The extension of  claim 1  wherein said extension is manufactured as an open ended cylinder.  
   
   
       3 . The extension of  claim 1  wherein said extension is manufactured as a single piece of flat material which may be formed into an open ended cylinder by an installer.  
   
   
       4 . The extension of  claim 1  wherein said extension is manufactured from metal.  
   
   
       5 . The extension of  claim 1  wherein said extension is manufactured from plastic.  
   
   
       6 . The extension of  claim 3  wherein said extension has a leading edge and a trailing edge, said leading edge mating with said trailing edge to create said cylinder.  
   
   
       7 . The extension of  claim 3  wherein said extension has a leading edge and a trailing edge, said leading edge and said trailing edge overlapping to create said cylinder.  
   
   
       8 . The extension of  claim 1  having a horizontal polygonal cross section.  
   
   
       9 . A process for installing a sleeve extension to a turbine ventilator, said ventilator having a turbine head and a turbine base, said process comprising: 
 a) securing said turbine head to one end of said extension, through the use of fastening means; and    b) securing said turbine base to the opposing end of said extension through the use of fastening means.    
   
   
       10 . The process of  claim 9  further comprising the steps of; 
 c) determining the correct diameter for said extension and cutting a leading edge or a trailing edge; and    d) attaching said leading edge to said trailing edge through the use of fastening means.
